General simulator requirements

6.c. ...........

The simulator must provide a continuous visual field-of-view of at least 146Section horizontally
and 36Section vertically per pilot seat. Both pilot
seat visual systems must be operable simultaneously. Horizontal field-of-view is centered on the zero degree azimuth line relative to the aircraft fuselage. The minimum
horizontal field-of-view coverage must be
plus and minus one-half (1-2) of the minimum
continuous field-of-view requirement, centered on the zero degree azimuth line relative to the aircraft fuselage.
An SOC must explain the geometry of the installation. Capability for a field-of-view in excess of the minimum is not required for
qualification at Level C. However, where
specific tasks require extended fields of view
beyond the 146Section by 36Section (e.g., to accommodate the use of  - chin windows -  where the
accommodation is either integral with or
separate from the primary visual system display), then the extended fields of view must
be provided. When considering the installation and use of augmented fields of view,
the sponsor must meet with the NSPM to
determine the training, testing, checking,
and experience tasks for which the augmented field-of-view capability may be required.
An SOC is required.

6.d. ...........

The simulator must provide a continuous visual field-of-view of at least 176Section horizontally
and 56Section vertically per pilot seat. Both pilot
seat visual systems must be operable simultaneously. Horizontal field-of-view is centered on the zero degree azimuth line relative to the aircraft fuselage. The minimum
horizontal field-of-view coverage must be
plus and minus one-half (1-2) of the minimum
continuous field-of-view requirement, centered on the zero degree azimuth line relative to the aircraft fuselage. An SOC must
explain the geometry of the installation. Capability for a field-of-view in excess of the
minimum is not required for qualification at
Level D. However, where specific tasks require extended fields of view beyond the
176Section by 56Section (e.g., to accommodate the use
of  - chin windows -  where the accommodation is either integral with or separate from
the primary visual system display), then the
extended fields of view must be provided.
When considering the installation and use of
augmented fields of view, the sponsor must
meet with the NSPM to determine the training, testing, checking, and experience tasks
for which the augmented field-of-view capability may be required.
An SOC is required.

6.e. ...........

The visual system must be free from optical
discontinuities and artifacts that create nonrealistic cues.

Notes
Optimization of the vertical field-of-view may
be considered with respect to the specific
helicopter flight deck cut-off angle. The
sponsor may request the NSPM to evaluate
the FFS for specific authorization(s) for the
following:
(1) Specific areas within the database needing
higher resolution to support landings, takeoffs and ground cushion exercises and training away from a heliport, including elevated
heliport, helidecks and confined areas.
(2) For cross-country flights, sufficient scene
details to allow for ground to map navigation
over a sector length equal to 30 minutes at
an average cruise speed.
(3) For offshore airborne radar approaches
(ARA), harmonized visual/radar representations of installations.

Nonrealistic cues might include image  - swimming -  and image  - roll-off, -  that may lead a
pilot to make incorrect assessments of
speed, acceleration and/or situational
awareness.
